    Margin help

    I haven't been on in awhile but just happened to stumble on this thread. I have had the same issues with this covered call margin. This can really cause problems when the stock crosses the strike price. Awhile back I was doing covered calls on Northern Dynasty (NAK on the amex) It also trades...

    2017 Futures Trading Tournament hosted by GFF Brokers.

    Good Canadian Futures Broker?

    I have an account with Global Futures. They are fine. Used to have an account with Tradestation but they closed all their Canadian accounts for regulatory reasons. Too bad, i really liked their platform.

    Tradestation no longer available to Canadians??

    Yes I had an account there , not ding any trading for awhile, but was advided that as of October Candaian accounts would be closed. The only other option is that you can use the software on a subscription basis but it is much more expensive. With a futures account you could make 10 trades...

    Canadians Brokers

    In my opinion IB is your only choice. commission for 75 round turns (500 sh)per month would be (0.0035 + 0.0030 ) * 500 * 75 * 2 = 487.50 This assumes you always take liquidity on your trades If you are daytrading you will need 25 K though. As far as futures I think a lot of...

    The AMEX FRO (Fixed Return Options) Thread

    20.01 or above at expiration and using the adjusted price not the stocks closing price. I would hope commissions would be no more than 1.00 per contract and even that may get expensive.
